Well, of course it's never-before-seen footage! The episode only came out tonight!
Announcer Jon: "Jon's Adventure Vlog"!
Hello, and welcome to "Jon's Adventure Vlog." My name is, as you know, Jon Paula, and on today's very special episode, I'm gonna be taking you all the way back to April 10th, 2010...
...When Jory, Riley, and I were filming the 8th season of "Is it a Good Idea to Microwave This?" A lot of people over the years have been asking me, "Jon, can you please release an episode of the microwave show completely unedited?"
Well, honestly, it probably will never happen, but this is a good step in that direction. This is about a 100-second clip that I completely removed from tonight's episode of the microwave show, which, by the way, if you haven't seen it...
...Please click the annotation here or the link below in the doobly-doo. So, from this episode, we microwaved chainmail, experiment #215, and, while we were microwaving stuff, we were making commentary and making jokes behind the tin foil shield.
And sometimes, I just cut out entire sections. Sometimes, I edit it out and tighten it up. In this instance, I completely removed a full two minutes from the video. So, please enjoy this clip, and stay tuned afterwards, and I'll explain why I removed it.
Riley: You know, they're going deep into the Sahara jungle!
Jon: Her name is Sarah!
Riley: Sahara!
Jon: And you know what that sounds like?
Riley: What?
Jon: It sounds like a female pubic hair joke, and that's disgusting!
Riley: I guess if you think like that, with your mind in the gutter...
Jory: Yeah...
Jon: Well, Riley, I'm sorry, but I am proud to be from the gutter! You know who else is from the gutter?
Riley: Who?
Jon: The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! Alright, dude?
Jory: That's a good point!
Riley: (to Jon) You know what? I think your logic actually does beat me there, and I apologize.
Jon: The gutter is a great place to be, especially if you don't wanna spare!
Jory: But then again, their whole fight was against The Foot, so I mean... I'm just sayin'...
Riley: Yeah, and they're led by rats. Sick!
Jon: Sick freak! Turtle freak!
Riley: Six-foot-tall turtle!
Jory: They're afraid of Shredder!
Jon: Teenage Mutant Ninja Freakazoid! You know what I never understood is that the Ninja Turtles always ate pizza. Where did they get it from? In the TV show, they just had people deliver it to the sewer! Does anyone find that suspicious?!
Riley: Yeah, like, how did they do that? Like, okay...
Jory: What? You don't think vagrants in the sewer ever order pizza? It's a common thing!
Jon: No, typically, they don't!
Riley: I wanna know... Where do they learn all their martial arts skills?
Jon: It's from that rat guy, Splinter.
Riley: He can do 17 different martial arts?!
Jon: Yes! He's a rat- he's lived forever! He survived the Black Plague! He's been around since the chainmail days! And we come back full-circle!
Jory: Rats DO survive, alright? It's a fact! We HAVE learned one thing from this, and it's that the one that's spread out actually does cooler stuff than the pile. Oh, wait- no, it's... Yeah, I'm gonna go with laid-out is better.
Riley: Laid-out, yeah! Just lay 'em out and just, you know, go for it!
Jory: Just lay 'em out! You never want to just jumble 'em up in a pile. Just lay 'em out!
Riley: Just lay 'em out, and then, just enter, you know what I mean? Like the microwave- enter the microwave! Lay it out!
Jon: Yeah, right, right!
Riley: Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh!
Well, there you go, the 100-second outtake from "Is it a Good Idea to Microwave Chainmail?" I hope you enjoyed that, and you're probably wondering, "Jon, that was kind of funny. Why did you take that out of the show?"
"You know, it was kind of vulgar, but you guys have way worse things than that." There are many reasons why I decide to edit in or out certain things. Most of the time, I go for time. I try to make sure the episode is not really, really long.
Other times, if the joke is too racy, I'll cut it out. Other times, if the joke doesn't work, I'll ALWAYS cut it out, if it's not funny. And with this particular clip, I just felt that, in order to understand the joke part of it...
...There was so much else involved with it, so much set-up, that, if I just wanted to keep the funny part, I'd have to keep all of the set-up and the preamble for it, which makes the video another minute-plus longer than it was already.
And for me, it didn't seem really worth it. I mean, it's funny. I laughed at it when I watched the clip, but the video is just as strong, if not stronger, at 4 minutes, without this clip.
So, anyway, a little bit of insight into how the show is made, and hopefully, you got to see what it's like behind the scenes when we don't edit anything out. I hope you enjoyed that.
I'll see you right back here tomorrow on the Jon channel. Thanks for watching. 'Bye!
